“Society needs artists, just as it needs scientists, technicians, workers, professional people, witnesses of the faith, teachers, fathers and mothers, who ensure the growth of the person and the development of community…”- John Paul II, Letter to Artists

Society needs artists and those who inspire. Society needs you, and Ruah needs your support.

“To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.”-Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa’s quote serves to remind us of our limitations, and the great hope that nothing is impossible for God. We, of Ruah, called to this work of renewal in the arts, request your prayerful discernment of support, no matter the difficulty.

Ruah’s mission is to shine the light of beauty in a dark world. Will you participate in this work of God by supporting us through prayer, time, talent, networking, wish list item or financial gift? Our needs are listed below.

Please contact our Executive Director, Jessica Smith, with questions or a pledge to support us.

• Prayer: that we would be docile and prayerful instruments; for work until we can apply for grants to fund the foundation and pay our bills; for benefactors; for the Non-Profit approval process.
• Wish List: See our wish list page for ideas.
• Your Time & Talent: Everyone has a gift. Would you offer some of your time to help start and promote Ruah?
• Networking: If you’re a writer, blogger, or arts enthusiast of any kind, a suggested friend, connection, blog post or link about Ruah goes a long way. Stay tuned for our social networking and press pages!
• Financial Gift: As you read this, we’re building our budget for the next 3,12 and 18 months, and we very much need your help. Contact John Smith, Associate Director and Development Officer, for more information on pledge levels and planned giving.
